While the river was a little low, Sean was great at pointing out how to navigate. He also kept up with all of us, from the fastest to the slowest (me). Sean was a real hit with the 12 and 14 y/o grandchildren, finding the best swimming spots. He also took lots of photos and sent them to us after the tour. And I have to also mention Asa, our driver. He and Sean were a great team. I highly recommend this tour if you are looking for a family outing.

Annual Bike Sale in the John Deer Park in downtown Middlebury, Vermont. All kinds of prices for…read moregently used bicycles of all brands and sizes. Prices Starting at $25.00. To as high as $2200.00. Carl-the owner, was checking people out personally at the check-out station inside. There are many offerings and accessories for bicycles-such as Signature Water Bottles, Frog Hollow Bikes Hats, all types of "bells" for your ride, etc! Very fun event which offers individuals that want to upgrade their current bike to trade it in. The traded-in bikes are then sold at affordable and reasonable prices from Frog Hollow Bikes at their annual bike sale!!! Love it! The true spirit of a small town and Vermont Culture! Thank you!

I am a beginner and was riding with my daughter who has taken lessons. We were invited to arrive early and groom the horses which was so nice. The ride was mostly on dirt roads which ended up being great because we had the freedom to ride next to each other. The occasional cars on the road were so respectful. We even got to trot (tolt) which was an exhilarating experience for me, fastest I've ever gone on a horse!

We recently rented a boat here. I believe it was a 20 ft Larson with volvo penta I/O. The exterior…read moreof the rental boat was somewhat weathered, but it was comfortable and the powerful engine ran smoothly. It was perfect for cruising or water-skiing. The staff and ownership were professional, easy-to-deal with, and honest. There were no deceptions nor hidden costs...just don't hit any rocks! The marina offers several amenities for permanent docking and visitors, including fuel, repair, and a restaurant. Westport is beautiful, but not upscale. It is a much better value than nearby yuppie traps.

This is a gorgeous waterfall and swimming hole about a 45 minute drive from Burlington, VT! My…read morewife, two teenage sons, mini-poodle, and I came here in July 2024 on a hot summer day to cool off for an hour. Lots of pluses. First, it has a wide receiving pool area that is conducive to large groups and is more kid-friendly than other swimming holes (such as Warren Falls). Second, parking is generally available on the side of the road above the falls. You can descend along the second pathway down which is less steep than the first pathway. Third, dogs with a leash are allowed in the area. Would strongly recommend bringing water shoes (river shoes) if you don't like the pain of multiple rocks on your bare feet. Also, it tends to be a bit more quiet from 3pm-4pm, but got crowded when we departed at 5pm. Overall, this is a great place to experience a swimming hole in Vermont - especially if you are staying nearby in Burlington, VT.

I have alpine skied many times and thought other than not going down hills and using a lift how much different can this be!? I thought why do I need to spend money on lessons? Those of you who have done this before are probably like, yup that guy is naive...let's just say I was so glad I did the lessons. Speaking of lessons our instruction was phenomenal. He made it so easy for us to understand and build on the basics. He has been XC-skiing professionally and recreationally for 60 years. I hope I am in as good as shape and able to do what he was doing then I am 70. Very thankful for his time and the lessons are well worth it. We went on the first day of the season (we were only in town a limited time), some snow had been blown in and the snowfall that had occurred days prior was icy. All of the trails were not open either, which ended up being perfectly fine as we had plenty of fun learning how to stay in the carved our tracks and keep our balance. I surprising did not fall, but came awfully close. 10/10 would recommend, even if you have never done many snow sports. It is a workout but exhilarating!

Rikert is one of the best cross country ski options in the area!!…read more The area is located a little to the south of the main Middlebury campus area. You take 125 down and if you start seeing a lot of mustard yellow homes flanking either side of the road, then you have reached the right place. They have miles and miles of beautifully groomed trails and they also can make man-made snow - which is useful early in the season. You really feel right in the middle of the Green Mts! In terms of service, the staff is incredibly warm and helpful. In the entrance way, they even offer a little soup and cocoa station. The soups are always delicious ... and most importantly warm. They also have strong vegetarian options, which is considerate. I also saw folks snow biking around ... which looks like a blast!
